Rajasthan, Punjab Hit Hard by Groundwater Overexploitation

Imagine the ground is like a giant sponge holding water, and some areas are using up that water faster than it can be replaced.

The government says that Rajasthan and Punjab have the most districts facing this problem.

Several other states also have areas where groundwater is being overused.

The government is helping states to conserve water and launched campaigns to catch rainwater to replenish the ground water, to make sure there's enough water for everyone.
